"The City Dark" chronicles the disappearance of darkness. When
filmmaker Ian Cheney moves to New York City and discovers skies devoid of
stars, a simple question – What do we lose when we lose the night? – spawns a
journey to America's brightest and darkest corners. Astronomers, cancer
researchers, ecologists and philosophers provide glimpses of what is lost in
the glare of city lights. Additional
showing at 2 p.m. April 21. Part of Earth and Space Awareness Month,
presented by the John C. Wells Planetarium. Free.
